CBC REPORT ON JUSTICE STACK SPEAKS OF MISCHIEF

I really wish that I had time the time today to post about the reprehensible & unbalanced story that CBC Radio ran this morning regarding past political donations and Justice Robert Stack. The guy supports the political process, by giving to two different parties, through his firm, while in private practice and he is somehow painted to be biased towards the Progressive Conservatives.

Let us not forget that he was appointed to chair the Electoral Boundaries Commission by the province's Chief Justice not the Premier, The Speaker or a politician.

I'll have to let the news articles do the talking for me for now but this story does nothing but create unfair cynicism about a process that is independent and has to follow the rules as defined by the Charter of Rights via tests created by the Supreme Court of Canada .

It appears to me that the CBC did not approach this story with a critical eye and the goal was mischief.
